hello all,


as you some of you know i went to a couple of games with simon galloway from the evening post and took pictures of bristol city and rovers. and this week got an email from he saying he would like me to cover a game for him nothing big but a start ! mangotsfield vs poole. i am very excited ! need some help doing captions any tips any one has when doing them! would be great cheers alex !
 
First off Alex congrats on the gig:thumbs:. As Steve has said there's many aspects to captioning etc.

a, Do you need to wire images after the game or do you have a bit more time to get home & use the "big" PC etc?

b, Are the images to be credited/paid for for yourself? (there's a section to fill in if you require usage instructions.

c, an obvious one but what software are you using? CS, photomechanic?. I'm sure you'll get all the info you need from the guys on here but a few more details will narrow down the responce. Kind regards Graham.
 
Captions should read something like:

"Bristol - 18th August 2011: Bobby Charlton of Mongotsfield FC scores his 8th goal past Fred Flintstone of Poole in their 14-0 win over Poole FC in the Red Circle Division 2 match held at the Madman Stadium. Photo by Taffy047/TaffyPics 07123 837491"
